Scrcpy Remote costs $2.99 and atvTools $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
atvTools holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: atvTools has 168 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Scrcpy Remote's written reviews are positive against 69% of atvTools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
